MANILA, Philippines—Malacañang on Friday praised its ally, Senate President Franklin Drilon, for facing his colleagues and directly responding to the allegations against him in connection with the allegedly overpriced Iloilo Convention Center but left it up to Vice President Jejomar Binay to decide if he should do the same to clear his name.

“Certainly, Senator Frank Drilon set a good example,” presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda when asked if Binay should follow the senator’s lead.

But Lacierda said it would be up to the Vice President “to decide whether he should follow the example of Senate President Franklin Drilon.”
